How to load default profile in chrome using Python Selenium Webdriver?

This solved my problem. (remove Default at the end)

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=/home/username/.config/google-chrome")

cls.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options,
                              executable_path="./../ext/chromedriver")

Chrome_Options ist deprecated. Use options instead

I solved my problem with answer of "Yoannes Geissler".

In my case My profile was named "Profile 2"

My Code :

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 

options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=C:/Users/GOD/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data')

options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Profile 2')

wd = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

The below line solved my problem:

options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Profile 2')

This is what finally got it working for me.

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

To find path to your chrome profile data you need to type chrome://version/ into address bar . For ex. mine is displayed as C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default, to use it in the script I had to exclude \Default\ so we end up with only C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.

Also if you want to have separate profile just for selenium: replace the path with any other path and if it doesn't exist on start up chrome will create new profile and directory for it.

Just to share what worked for me. Using default's profile was complicated, chrome keeps crashing.

from pathlib import Path
from selenium import webdriver

driver_path = Path("{}/driver/chromedriver75.exe".format(PATH_TO_FOLDER))
user_data_dir = Path("{}/driver/User Data".format(PATH_TO_FOLDER))

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# TELL WHERE IS THE DATA DIR
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir={}".format(user_data_dir))

# USE THIS IF YOU NEED TO HAVE MULTIPLE PROFILES
options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Default')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=options)

driver.get("https://google.com/")

By doing this Chrome will create the folder User Data and keep all the data in it where I want and it's easy to just move your project to another machine.
